If you do a search for ICPC, you might find it.

This is what we had ready when we were hoping to take the baby home from the hospital:

Some clothes
blankets for swaddling
a few bottles
bottle brush
formula (we have a few samples)
burp cloths
washcloth
infant car seat
hats/socks (depending on the season)
diapers, wipes (purchased there)
mucous (sp?) sucker
baby wash (purchased there)
baby carrier
We were planning on purchasing a pack and play with a bassinet while we were there, but that was only because the cost of renting a crib for 1 1/2 to 2 weeks while we were there was more expensive than buying the pack and play
diaper bag

I think that's most of the stuff we had ....

I hope there is a Target or Toys R Us near where you are staying. You will think of a million more things you need as you are waiting for ICPC.

Also, pack an extra duffel bag. You will need it to pack up all the extra stuff that you buy while you are there.
